The High Court has revoked the recruitment process for several key positions at the Social Health Authority (SHA).
The ruling followed a petition filed by the Kenya Union of Clinical Officers (KUCO) challenging the legality of the recruitment drive.
Although the recruitment process was aimed at filling positions such as Assistant Director of County Coordination, Director of Benefits Management and Principal Officers, KUCO claimed that the hiring process was illegal and required judicial intervention.
The ruling which was delivered by Judge Lawrence Mugambi of Milimani Law Courts ordered that the petition and supporting documents be served by the close of business on march 24, 2025, and responses be filed within three days.
The court therefore prohibited the Social Health Authority , it employees, officers and agents from proceeding with the hiring process until the case is heard and decided.
Regarding the case, it is set to be heard on April 10, 2025, for further directions.
